That still does not prove that deep in their hearts they have no hatred for India because of the Bluestar, If that was not the case India would have called for a referendum and gotten done with it. Also, lots of Indian Punjabis joined the army because of bread and butter. By ratio vast number of India migrants are also Punjabis, In the West they can speak their minds in India they cannot.
There's no insurgency in East Punjab. Also, 40% of East Punjab is Hindu.
Canada already has a strong base of Sikhs, the first South Asian migrants there were Sikh and majority of Indians there are Punjabi. UK they also have a significant amount in places such as Southall, but the majority of Indians in UK are Hindus.
In the US, there were also one of the first South Asians to migrate there. There is a big community in California. Matter of fact, they have a pretty long history here that they started to mingle with other groups such as Mexicans and create a Punjabi-Mexican community in California.
That's why Khalistan is strong with diaspora because of the structure and base in Canada, USA, and UK. But it doesn't change the fact that there isn't that much of support for it in East Punjab.
